Description This pic has helped to keep me sane for the past couple of nights. I've done more GNG fanart, because I love drawing cool dogs. These are the three Kai brothers, who are very cool. In the middle is Akatora, the oldest, on the left is Chutora, the middle, and on the right is Kurotora, the youngest. Though they're technically triplets, the other two still call Akatora "aniki"...I guess a few minutes between births make more of a difference when you're a dog. These guys are totally "We WILL eat your sorry ass" and I like them.

The kanji behind them says "tora" which means "tiger" because, duh. I titled this pic after an old WWII movie, because the title itself seemed to suit the three tora's quite well. Feel free to crit.

I was so sad when Akatora died in the movie and then Churtora didn't show up in Ginga Densetsu Weed. He must've died of old age... The only Kai brother that isn't dead right now is Kurotora.

Akatora is my fave of the trio. I could never figure out why. Chutora is next because there's a lot of mystery. We really don't know who he is. xD

Another beautiful Ginga fanart from you!! I absolutely love your use of cartoon characters' malleability to show action - where you stretch the characters' bodies (especially with Chutora's body here, and Kurotora being scrunched up as if he's just landed from his pounce) to imply their speed and actioins, without making them look rediculous. ^^ I think my favorite touch in this piece is how you made their teeth yellow. I really really love that. I'm having a hard time finding things to critique about the subjects... Maybe that Akatora's body looks a little too long from the perspective you're trying to get at.

The only thing I think that could be really improved with this picture is the background. Firstly, if you were to go with the same style background you have now, I would go for a darker color, closer to black, rather than white. The reason is that the subjects' colors are darker than lighter, and black would make their darker colors more apparent. The white sort of drowns out a lot of the toning you used. However (I know, I'm being a total background-enthusiast XD), I think that a scenic background would add infinitely to this picture. What I think would make this picture really outstanding is if you put them in their forest home setting, widened the borders to the left and right of this picture, and stuck in a few of Ben's comrades (probably Gin and Cross) as the Kais' targets, and it would be implied (from anyone who's seen the anime) that Akatora is going for the leader - Ben, even if he's not seen in the composition.

Well, that's my two cents' worth, and now you've got another essay comment. XD Hope it was helpful. And again, this is another amazing picture that you've done. Keep up the AWESOME work!!

Woah, cool art again, but.. Chutora's head and tail look a bit weird for me.

Yeah, I picked a tough angle for his head. What's weird about it to you?

Uh, I can't say it, but something in Chutora's head disturbs me.. x_x Sorry if I hurt you!

Kurokiba In reply to Jendaah [2007-02-18 18:52:04 +0000 UTC]

No, I'm not hurt at all. I'd just like to know where I went wrong so I can do better next time. All part of bein' an artist.

casoa In reply to Kurokiba [2007-02-18 20:58:57 +0000 UTC]

I think it's just the odd angle that Chutora is in that is making the head look weird.

This picture is really freakin' awesome! Nice job
